I am a Kiwi, so I hope you don't mind me joining in given I have to go through the Sydney Office :)

Brilliant - thanks ;D

Thanks but not really.......there are two stages for AOR in the Sydney spreadsheet. Not sure what the stages mean - here is the link https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gINNzqkPLZwlNC1lWdQ2xk_Rz4JkD_5vFCxEKcJREnU/edit#gid=0

Can someone please explain to me the terms used in the Sydney spreadsheet, including the stage names and acronyms. For example my application was received by the CIC in Mississauga on November 3 2014 and I received notification of sponsor approval on 28 January 2015. They have 'supposedly' sent...

This is ridiculous. I work as a business process improvement consultant and I can only imagine the inefficiencies in this system, particularly given it is such a manual process. The reliance on human work to process applications in the public sector, with little motivating employees (due to poor...

Hypothetically, if I were NOT to have final approval and entered Canada on a holiday VISA, would they have access to the information I have already processed for permanent residency? If not, then I would imagine I would need a return ticket or some ticket to leave Canada after a certain period...

Hi - sorry it was the 3rd. Would you like me to update?

Hi all. My wife just received her SA for Spousal Sponsorship. We both live in NZ and moving to Canada in May. Couple of questions: 1) How can I find the average wait time for the Sydney office for Permanent Residence approval? 2) Has anyone applied for both a work permit while waiting for PR...

Application received November 3rd. Didn't receive email so my wife phoned this morning via the +1 613 44.... number. Sponsor Approval given on January 28 (supposedly they didn't have an email address and also incorrect spelling on our physical address here in NZ)......... Good luck to all - I...

Thanks - will try tomorrow and let you know how I go ;D

Hey all. Just out of interest, does anyone have the number for the CIC call centre that I can call from outside of Canada? I live in NZ and all the numbers I try fail. Has anybody had any luck?

The only way I can track whether they received my application is through the postal tracking here in New Zealand. It says it reached the destination on November 3. I am hopeful that it didn't sit around in the 'inbox' too long; however, given I have not heard anything yet I am getting rather...

I am in New Zealand. Sounds like they are back logged......also, I am not as desperate as some in this forum so prepared to wait a little longer :)

My wife got her Uncle to call (he used to work for Immigration Canada) the CIC Call Centre. Unless we give him permission to act on our behalf (see below) they can't provide much information. What they did say was that they are working on applications received before October 16 and that we will...

We both live in New Zealand and the only phone number they give is for someone living in Canada. We are trying to get hold of someone in Canada now so they can phone on our behalf, if that is possible. Does anyone have a number we can call from outside of Canada? This is pretty frustrating...

I am at 67 days :( My wife is calling today - will let you all know how we get on.......

My wife has also submitted my family class (spouse) sponsorship. I have noticed that some people on the thread have received notification that the application has been received. It has been over 65 days and we have not heard anything. Given the estimated processing time is 61 days what is the...
